Course content |
Content of lectures: The lectures are focused on fundamental information about the following topics: - some basic deffinitiones (substance and mixtures, physical and chemical properties, units of measurements atc.), - basic concepts of atoms, molecules, ions, - molecular structure and modern theories of covalent bonding, - intermolecular forces, their effect in biological systems, - physical and chemical properties of substances, colligative properties, phase diagrams, - interaction of electromagnetic radiation with molecules, methods based on these interaction (UV, VIS, IR, NMR, MRI, CT, PET, fluorescence methods) - thermodynamics (chemical equilibrium, spontaneus processes, changes of state functions), - acid-base equlibia, buffer solutions, - electrochemistry, spontaneity of redox reactions, potentiometry, conductometric - chemical kinetics (rate laws, relation between reactant concentration and time, temperature dependence of rate constants, reaction mechanisms, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, enzyme catalysis, - colloids - optical and kinetic properties, - properties of membranes, Donnan potentials, - selected separation methods (chromatography, electrophoresis) Content of seminar: Excercises (calculations, derivations) related to the theory in lectures.

Learning outcomes |
The course of general and physical chemistry for chemists illustrates the basic principles and concepts at a level that can be understood by a chemistry students in their first year of study.
Students understand principles of general chemisry and fundamentals of physical chemistry. Students are able to apply the principles to solution of simple problems (calculation, derivation). Students understand usage of basic physicochemical principles in selected experimental techniques used in biological and medical applications Students are able to apply the theoretical knowledge on solution of practical problems (calculations, derivations). |
Prerequisites |
Compulsory prerequisite: either UMB 010 or UMB 565.
|
Assessment methods and criteria |
Combined exam
To pass the examination, students must obtain at least 50 % of points in each part (theory + calculations) of a combined (written + oral) examination test. Outline of the principle facts in the individual topics is to be found on MOODLE. |
